Just imagine if the tables were turned and it was the south and mainly christians having the upper hand.....you lot would have been up in arms by now and razed the country to the ground! You guys are sore losers; you can't bear being out of the corridors of power; and you certainly know how to bear a long grudge!

That was the north in the last 5 years mate. Discriminated against, insulted by common criminals, ridiculed in our bloody despair. We were told to return to Futa Jelon, and were reminded we were at the mercy of grenade wielding pipeline vandals masquerading as freedom fighters.

However with a stiffened upper lip, the north re-strategized and built alliances, which is why I find your statement that we are sore losers utterly ridiculous and wildly ironic because as soon as you guys realized you were in opposition, you started throwing childish tantrums about Biafra and Lower Niger Congress, every day saw new threads opened filled with threats of death and destruction, only for us to hear pin drop silence 2 weeks later as it's now clear that no one has time for your infantile nonsense. Some of you I heard, have even settled for bunkering some litres before it's shipped to our refineries instead of blowing up the pipes as you promised. Ask Truckpusher.

It's now clear all the noise was about Jonathan's crushing defeat. Instead of going back to the trenches and re-strategizing, you lot are here insulting the President and throwing tantrums about marginalization and how the north are playing ping-pong with the south.

Talk about sore losers.

IGBOSON1:
^^^You accuse Igbos of greed because of those few positions mentioned!? Ok....i challenge you to mention specifically how the Igbo nation benefited from the positions in question! You also realize some got those jobs through international recruitment agencies......like the positions for the head of the Sovereign Wealth Fund and Stock Exchange!?

Bro, I am only passing my comments based on the article and how your people still call us betrayals even when we are being sidelined. We have no agreement with Igbos nor GEJ, so i dont know how we are betrayals as being echoed here daily by your kinsmen. Fayose a Yoruba man stood gallantly for GEJ, same with Koro, Kashamu, Gbenga Daniel, Mimiko and many others yet you people lump the SW together to insult them.

You guys refused to agree that GEJ was a failure and was booted out because of his imcompetency, we gain nothing from his Presidency except sack of many Yorubas in various parastatals. Though, those appointment dont translate to development on that region but your people makes his Presidency like an Igbo one and always spiting other tribes. You cant hail Fayose and still call his tribe betrayals, does that make any sense?

QuotaSystem:
The North is more developed than where you are from and we can test this hypothesis. The same people you've called mumu for decades have continued to outsmart you at every turn leaving you whining like you're doing on this thread. The irony.

The North has never had real leadership that would allow development, just jack-booted soldiers that treated Nigeria like their barracks, not minding the future or improving the standard of living of any bloody civilian. PMB's new focus on diversifying the economy, investing heavily in agriculture, solid mineral development and resuming the prospecting for oil in the Chad Basin should have given you an idea of the current state of mind of the North.

Asari Dokubo's vituperations reminded us we were regarded as parasites because we allowed the country's focus to be locked on oil, we bore the insults and restragized...and boy has it paid off. With Kwankwaso, El-rufai, Tambuwal et al, the North now has real progressive political leadership that will bring massive development to the region starting with the reconstruction of the NE after BH is eliminated. I believe you have heard of the bill already, under the nurture of none other than the son of the soil, Speaker of the HoR Dogara.

Guy I totally agree with you.The northern regions are rich in mineral resources and they will benefit a lot from that. Image if We focused our attention to the exploration of these resources. These regions will be the richest. That why sometimes I laugh at the ignorant ones like Asari and his tribes claiming that other regions are parasites.
I believe that diversification of the economy will lead to true federalism both in fiscal and structural terms when the times comes.
No state or region in reality is poor in this country,only that the resources are still underutilized.

IGBOSON1:
^^^Tell that to the marines!

Who told you i was referring to just elective positions!? You crafty lot use the facade of 'democracy' to justify the lopsided balance of power in this country! I wouldn't put much faith in the Nigerian brand of 'democracy' if i were you!......We all know everything is settled in the living rooms of power-brokers and political godfathers before they come out in the open for the charade that's to follow!

But it's ok......so long as it's the north that's the beneficiary! Just imagine if the tables were turned and it was the south and mainly christians having the upper hand.....you lot would have been up in arms by now and razed the country to the ground! You guys are sore losers; you can't bear being out of the corridors of power; and you certainly know how to bear a long grudge!

Unashamed bigot, what else is the thread about if not the specific elective posts listed by the OP (see how you quickly shifted the goal post in blatant denial of your apparent short comings) - so typical of you dishonest lot, isn't it?

When your brother from Otouke was voted into power, it was all ok then even though (as you put it) our democratic system was based on arrangements between power brokers in living rooms; suddenly its no longer ok now that he had been kicked out (for legitimate reason) by the same system he got in - can you see how biased and silly you sound?

Yes indeed, the tables had turned round, Jonathan (a Christian) had a good 6yrs in power and the country wasn't razed to the ground - so what point are you making?

Unfortunately, you lot are the sorry ass sour losers known for failing to play by the rules or live by the rule and bear the consequences of their actions; thats why you are here whining as usual like a sick dog, blaming anything and everybody else except yourselves.

You forgot that you reap what you sow and that politics is a game of numbers; while at the same time your persistent love for ethno religious politics has consequently driven almost everybody to regroup along those lines - in the north, resulting in the almajiris coming even more closer together.

You are now reaping the benefits of your tribal politics and religious hatred served by the almajiris you so much despise; unfortunately also, as a minority there is no way you ppl can ever win for as long as Nigerians will vote along these lines because the north has and will always have the numbers - that is why you hate it so much to the extent of truncating our first republic by selectively killing its leaders while sparing your own, thus ushering in the 1st military coup that subsequently opened the pandora's box to all our present problems, because the north had the majority and led the government - as it is doing now.

If you ppl want to be carried along, you must be ready to ditch your primitive politics of hate and learn how to integrate and form alliances or otherwise be doomed as eternal victims of whining and bitching like you are still doing.

Head of Executive - North
Head of Legislature (senate) North
Head of Legislature (House) North
Head of Judiciary (North)

This is the first time in the history of democracy in Nigeria that the headship of all the positions that matter in national government went to only one region of the country. We must all thank the North for being ''wise'' and also Tinubu and SW for facilitating the ''wisdom'' of the North.

Shut the Bleep up you idiott.

You are now awake when another region or tribe is paying you Igbos back in your own coins. Am i surprised? No. History of this country has taught me one thing and that thing is that Igbos have always set the record of evils in this country which Hausa/Fulani usually capitalised on and used to their own advantage at any given opportunity.

Nigeria got independence in 1960.

1). Igbo formed political alliance with Hausas/Fulanis at the expense of all Southerners.

2). Igbos killed other regions' leaders and left their own active politicians unhurt while politicians in opposition party were killed. Tribalism at its peak.

3) Igbos destroyed our flourishing regional system of govt so as to showcase their pure tribalism at federal level which they did under a worthless military officer whose name has been sent to oblivion. He singlehandedly destroyed this system despite all pleas from the West and North. As usual, the East kept quiet while this atrocity was being committed by Aguiyi Ironsi until he was ceremoniously killed.

4) The civil war that could have been avoided if Igbos have shut their dirty mouth in the North and respect their hosts but they thought that everything is all about chest beating.

5) We thought we had enough betrayal from Igbos until Alex Ekwueme emerged as a new VP at the expense of all Southerners.

They singlehandedly destroyed Jonathan administration with their tribalism

President- South South/South east
SGF- South South/south East
Deputy Senate-South East
Se
Deputy speaker - South East

Minister for Finance- minister - South East

Petroleum- South South/East

CBN - SOUTH East

Minting and printing - South East

Minister for Health- South East

You set the precedent for Hausa/Fulani has usual and they are riding on it....

Haha,this is like announcing discovery of oil in a place that should've discovered water 1st.Now that the north has "all the positions that matter" when are they gonna start doing stuff that really matters?

Like catching up in development.
Catching up in literacy rates
Catching up economically
Catching up in mortality rates
Catching up in women's rights.

Francis5:
But there are APC SENATORS FROM SOUTH WEST. How come none became the head of the senate? None was even in contention with Lawan and Saraki? What do you have to say?

Leadership of the Senate is the exclusive preserve of ranking members or those from the House of Representatives or any state house of assembly.

No state or region in reality is poor in this country,only that the resources are still underutilized.

Let's examine Kano state briefly for example.

Look at what Kwankwaso is accomplishing with the existing IGR and monthly allocations, imagine what would happen when the agricultural and solid minerals potential of the state is fully exploited; for example the Riruwai mining area in Doguwa Local Government Area of Kano State has large deposits of columbite, granite, copper, zinc, lead and uranium. There are substantial deposits of Gold, Quartz, Kaolin, and Mica in Sumaila, Karaye and Shanono Local Government areas. There are also vast deposits of Silica sand in Makoda Local Government certified to be one of the finest in the world for glass making.

Even more exciting is the emergence of young, vibrant progressive northern politicians and technocrats like Tambuwal, El-Rufai, Kwankwaso, Dogara, Hon. Abdulmumuni et al. Their ideas are innovative and visionary, and going by their precedence and credentials, western education will be aggressively pursued in the rural areas that give us such damning statistics due to their contentment with Arabic education.

The glory years of the North are here bro.

Hmmmmmm. But the hypocrite yeebhoes still want the SW to continue with there adopted son even when being marginalized. No wonder they are crying more than the Ijaws, too much greed. With all the positions, they are still begging for 2nd niger bridge and others.

Now let see the heavens your masters will give you...just hope it won't be another rat poison

What is fair and what is unfair? That the manufacturers association of Nigeria is headed by an igbo? How is the head of that pressure group elected? Through members consent or through a presidential fiat? Buhari is the head of cattle rustlers in Nigeria, do I begrudge him? The xenophobe you quoted had to part the ocean to find a ministry "dominated" by the igbos under jonathan, you should have asked him who dominates/d the customs, police force, NNPC, the ministry that takes charge of Abuja, the solid mineral ministry, federal civil service, army etc. . Most of the professoonals he mentioned heading the finance ministry have been there utilizing their renowned skills(note!) to salvage government parastatals destroyed by a bunch of ultra inefficient 'quota system' inepts populated in the main by some babaringa wearing northerners and their owanbe slaves with their nauseously gaseous "come and chop" mentality. . .

That said, I am not a member off the southern groups worried by the destructive results of Tinubus imbecelic political experimentations. When Tinubu-SW teamed up with buharis north to ruthlessly/remorselessly brutalise a weak jonathan ceaselessly, finally chasing him away from Abuja with so much fanfair, discerning minds did warn of the far reaching implications of this odious reality both on ethnic relations in Nigeria and on all the unholly alliances cobbled up by these groups with the eastern minorities to devide and rule. The scales are off now. The minorities know better. With war against the militants looming just few weeks after jonathans humiliations, any student of ethnic politics wil tell you that SW/North has provided the east with pure gold. Take it from me- and I am not consoling myself- by the time this dispensation winds down, those laughing last may not be from the north or SW.

I have had time to think about it and I do agree that it is no where as bad as he is trying to make out. Sir, I am with you on this one, because fact still remains that no region has ever been this dominant.

Please listen to yourself. You are still calling Igbos greedy when the northerners are worse. Are you saying they shouldn't demand something that will improve their lives? Please think about this, the northerners are worse in every single ways.

I've heard many arguments like these, and this one is just one too many. When Igbos dominate a sector, it can only be through industry and sheer brilliance. But when others flourish it must be by crookedness! Where is the symmetry in such arguments.

Anyone from another region who allied himself with the North must be an "imbecilic slave". But when majority of their kinsmen support the North, as they have done many times before, then they are "strategic and smart". What type of wretched argument is that?

"Me-me-me and nobody else but me" argument has neither place in logic nor ethics because of its crass asymmetry.

Well maybe you are poor in Geography I do not not know.Most of you are myopic and are just educated bigots.
Tribalism has hidden deep in most you that you have refused to see the bigger picture all because of Oil which is just a little faction of this country's economic pool.That is why I support fiscal federalism for a start and probably division of this country.
Nigeria has close to fifty mineral resources which are economic viable worldwide and a chunk of these are in the north.
Do you know that Nasarawa state has about twenty seven with kogi state having twenty two of these resources.If these resources were explored in these two state, then they will be the richest with massive opportunities in these state.
Even in my region(south west), the bitumen in Ondo state alone having more than 27 billion Barrels of unconventional crude oil with other by products can transform that region for years to come talk less of other resources in this region.
Do you know that the stones and rocks you see around are being exported illegally and used in Europe.
Like I typed earlier, these resources are underutilized just because you have unserious and incompetent government.
Google the lists of mineral resources and be liberated.

^^^You really are funny! You want to sit there and tell me it's only after Buhari 'won' that you started hearing of Ndigbo agitations for self-determination?

Way before the elections we've made it clear we want out of Nigeria! Why are we being coerced into a forced union with intolerant people like you that hate our guts......and have our blood on your daggers as proof of said hatred!?

The only thing that changed after the charade that was the elections was that the Niger Deltans got an epiphany and eventually realized they're in a useless country where they're seen as only good enough to be exploited for the resources in their land/waters and not for anything else! They then joined up with their South East neighbours to agitate for self-determination which would either lead to the restructuring of this country into a true workable nation where all are equal......or we all go our separate ways! Now tell me what's wrong with this position?

If your argument is that GEJ is clueless and all that....and knowing how the Niger Delta has been sidelined and marginalized from the days of Adaka Boro to date, why then -if it isn't all about returning power back to the feudalistic hegemonic muslim core north- couldn't you in APC and the north agree to look for another suitable candidate from the Niger Delta/South South? Not only did you not do this, but you lot went back to the very same region that has produced the leadership of this country the most and picked a has-been worn-out ex-dictator.....one bereft of any vision or ideas on how to move the country forward! One would have expected that for someone that's nursed an ambition to be president for more than a decade now, that Buhari would have had a clear direction on where he wants to take the country, and by now would have identified the technocrats he wants to use to achieve his vision! It's almost 3 weeks now since his inauguration and hardly anything has changed in the country for all the shouts of change-change we heard during the campaigns! It was all a ruse!

Your say Igbos are sore losers abi?......And you base this assertion on the fact that we're agitating for self-determination.....or is there anything else? On the other hand, when i accuse you guy of being sore losers, i have the cold-blooded murder of corpers in mind; i have the rantings of Buhari after he lost the 2011 elections in mind; i have the rantings of some of your elite who swore to make the country ungovernable for GEJ after the 2011 elections in mind; i have the sabotage or the GEJ presidency by your brothers/sisters in gov't and the armed forces in mind; i have the scam that is the chibok affair in mind......and i could go on and on!

All we've seen thus far from your god Buhari is useless trips to nowhere! Gulliver ain't got nothing on him when it comes to gallivanting all over the globe!

I do understand where you are coming from, and you do have a point. .. I have no problems with the SW allingning with the north. Where some of us worry is when the SW "captures" the south for the north. Looks like Tinubu is cool with fulani colonialism. The retrogressive conservatism that has become a generational hallmark of fulani fiefdoms in the north does not stimulate any interest to consider tolorating this infamy down south even for a split second. This is a multi ethnic state, provocative politicking can easily prove a recipe for disaster. . . This thing is not your vintage political merger. Pablo Tinubu is starting to look like a lamb playing hide and seak wih some snarling hyenas. By pushing out a minority/South-Southner/easterner and replacing him with a northerner in order to satisfy the interest of the SW, Tinubu has burnt an awfull lots of bridges down south, accentuated the level of tribal politics to neptun levels while waking up age long primodial animosities tha will hunt this generation for a long time. Sexy slogans won't do. . This is not your typical example of political allignments, this is 'sophisticated ethnic gang-up'. . Nothing but.

I have no doubt that the northern states are rich in resources. The question is, what are their worth+quatities of those resources? Ilesha is rumored to have 5000tones of Gold ore, of which if true will fetch at least $250billion. Do the maths, and see how many stones you need to equal that price.

There is nothing in my earlier post that suggests which region I hail from, so how did you come about the acronym 'SW'!

GEJ's defeat had nothing to do with a gang up. These people voted for him in 2011. They did again in 2015, only not as much as in 2011. Ekiti no be SW ? The thrust of your argument is misdirected.

And why the hatred for the North? Your diction revealed a lot about your temperament towards these people. Wetin dem do you sef?

They talked about zoning and Tinubu said no because he wanted to Install those he thinks he will control.. ......so it played out like this, Tinubu should hit the road and stop all the noise.

Can't see where I suggested you are from the SW, though one won't be wrong to reach that conclusion taking into consideration your bias for that zone on related topics. . And yes; it was an ethnic gang up! Yoruba leaders met at Ibadan few days before the last presidential elections and labelled anybody intending to vote for Jonathan against Buhari/Osibande a "bastard'! Mainstream Yoruba groups, elites and media alligned with this position! ACF took the same path up north, ridiculing few northerners supporting the chap from. Otueke while conjuring up a very jumpy political atmosphere that encouraged all sorts of attacks directed towards Jonathan, including near lynchings. . These events carry a lot of political weight/relevance/implications and shouldn't be so whimsically dismissed as non issues esspecialy when resultant outcome of the presidential elections reflected the intended spirits of those tribally motivated positions. .

As, it reagards my "hatred" for the north, no apologies . Nothing personal; I do have a serious grudge against a dominating political culture that has become an ultra-conservative agent of stagnation and in many cases, retrogression. . Highest illiteracy rate, highest number of females out of school, religeous violence , boko, shariah etc. . You should ask them 'wetin dey do them sef'? . . While the Anglo-Americans pushed western europe to political and economic prominence, ditto the Han in China, here, we have a Hausa/fulani oligarchy commanding almost 7 states across Africa while still struggling with the process of modernising basic cultural tools, essentialy -haraming- development. There must be a greater reason/need for chasing and coveting power. The blind can't lead the one eyed.
